This shapefile outlines the current multi-beam data holdings of the British Geological Survey. The multibeam has been collected from a variety of vessels and contractors for the purpose of seabed mapping. Surveys may not meet all requirements of IHO order 1. The data is available for download in various formats from The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) website.

Available to download in various formats from the The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) website. The dataset should be acknowledged to BGS.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4975 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2009 British Geological Survey, Seabed mapping and surveys (BGS_multibeam) |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | c1d5b0a30048338893df3d1b69060e02 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | NETGAIN0099 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-06-15 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-06-15 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | This shapefile outlines the current multi-beam data holdings of the British Geological Survey. The multibeam has been collected from a variety of vessels and contractors for the purpose of seabed mapping. Surveys may not meet all requirements of IHO order 1. The data is available for download in various formats from The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) website. |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The extents if multibeam was derived from the actual swath data extents using ESRI ArcMap. GeoTiff or Arc Grids were created in Fledermaus using the processed XYZ survey data (when possible) for this purpose. The attributes were populated when possible, however, HI_number and HI_name are MCA/UKHO specific and so not populated. BGS_ID and Location information added. Contract - the contract under which this survey was undertaken. Contractor - The survey contractor which undertook the work. Standard - The overall standard to which the survey data was gathered. In general the data was collected without any standard in mind and this attriubute has been left blank. Start_Date. End_date. FY_Comissi - Financial year of commission. Status - indicates survey completion. Although, all surveys have been completed, not all have been fully processed. Area_kmSq (WGS_84_UTM30N). A Comments field has also been added for more survey specific information. |
